Simulation of boreal forest landscape dynamics: modeling approaches and applications
Finland Academic dissertation To be presented, with the permission of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry of the University of Helsinki, for public criticism in the Walter auditorium of the EE-building (Agnes Sjöbergin k. 2) on December 10 th 2004 at 12 o'clock noon. Abstract Boreal forests are dynamic, spatially heterogeneous ecosystems, and important reserves of biological diversity and t...
متن کاملSpatially Explicit and Stochastic Simulation of Forest- Landscape Fire Disturbance and Succession
Understanding disturbance and recovery of forest landscapes is a challenge because of complex interactions over a range of temporal and spatial scales. Landscape simulation models offer an approach to studying such systems at broad scales. Fire can be simulated spatially using mechanistic or stochastic approaches. We describe the fire module in a spatially explicit, stochastic model of forest l...
متن کاملFORMOSAIC: an individual-based spatially explicit model for simulating forest dynamics in landscape mosaics
A forest is embedded in heterogeneous landscape mosaics and interacts with the surrounding environment through processes such as seed dispersal. Previous forest models, however, have either ignored such interactions or made unrealistic assumptions. We developed a landscape model (FORMOSAIC) that explicitly considers not only the dynamics of a focal forest but also ecological impacts of adjacent...
متن کاملSpatially-explicit Modeling of Siberian Boreal Forests
Circumpolar boreal forests contain one half of the terrestrial carbon stores, and have been shown to be susceptible to climate change. As climate regimes shift, the total biomass and species composition may change in ways that may promote further warming on the regional level through atmosphere-vegetation feedbacks. The purpose of this project is to develop a spatially explicit model for simula...
متن کاملStand-landscape integration in natural disturbance-based management of the southern boreal forest
Forest ecosystem management, based partly on a greater understanding of natural disturbance regimes, has many variations but is generally considered the most promising approach to accommodating biodiversity concerns in managed forested regions. Using the Lake Duparquet Forest in the southeastern Canadian boreal forest as an example, we demonstrate an approach that attempts to integrate forest a...
